Types Of Remote Control Helicopters
The list below are some of the most common types of remote control helicopters.
Electric Helicopters
The electric helicopters are the most common type of all the RC helicopters created. They are usually light weight, battery powered and rechargeable. A lot of fliers, especially beginners, prefer to use this type because they emit less noise and are very user friendly. Among other remote controlled helicopters, electric types are the cheapest in general.
Nitro Helicopters
Using a specific liquid fuel, these types of helicopters are able to fly at long distance and last a longer period of time. They also appear bigger than electric helicopters, and emits a loud noise upon flying. Since Nitro Helicopters have more lifting power than other remote controlled helicopters, they are often made of durable and heavier materials. Compared to most RC remote control helicopters, Nitros are more stable and easy to control.
Toy Electric Helicopters
These type of helicopters are the common choice for beginners which are usually less knowledgeable to remote control world. Toy Electric helicopters are among the cheapest and most fragile type of remote controlled helicopters. Toy Electric Helicopters also does not have a full control for direction, however, which makes it a bad practicing material if you're planning to upgrade to advanced types of RC helicopters.
Coaxial Helicopters
Among other remote control helicopters, these type is the easiest to fly. The dual rotors that rotates simultaneously on opposite direction is the main key for it's stabilization. Can be flown even by beginners. These remote controlled helicopters are designed to stabilize by themselves even by poor handling.
Fixed Pitch Helicopters
These types of remote controlled helicopters are mainly for advanced fliers. They require more practice in order to fly properly. These types of helicopters are prone to crashes especially for not very familiar fliers. These helicopters are usually strong, fast and can be flown indoors, however, and can offer good site for viewers.
Collective Pitch Helicopters
Collective Pitch Helicopters are generally for outdoor flying only. They have a delicate and complicated design that suits their flying capabilities. These remote controlled helicopters are used by expert and are commonly seen in flying contests. The price can be a little expensive than most remote control helicopters but the experience it gives is worth it.
